Clicking the link does not work. You need to mark, copy and paste it into a browser. Probably some Steam thing.

Mark, copy, paste:

Vac did need a payed key after a month or so, but I think the dev has not continued selling it. You can get the client with the VAC link in the other comment I made. You can get the profile via this dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/d6bldxvhavade094hky6n/310C.rar?rlkey=letorobmbxgocth5bu69z833l&e=1&st=p8gpxdqn&dl=0

You do not need a dropbox client, just click the download icon in the top right area to download. The file is packed via .rar

( Always remember to scan files you download. I know it is clean, but scanning files should be a default habit regardless of trust.)

VAC program can still be gotten here, I think:

( There is a limit on Win 8 now, but using compatibility install it might still work. Note that the win 8 limits are not real limits. Just artificial to get people to upgrade OS )

Is it still possible to get the VAC mod for Arma 2?
MrProfilen 12 Jun, 2024 @ 5:35pm 
Hmmm, I'll try to find where to get VAC. Thanks for the the profile link.

Important: You need to mark the link, copy it and past it in the browser otherwise you get a steam error. 310C is the last version.

You still need the program VAC though. Which I am not sure how to get since it seems the homepage is down.
MrProfilen 29 May, 2024 @ 8:24am 
Any links to DWVAC/Profile? Looks cool and I want to check it out.
EvyDevy 5 Nov, 2022 @ 5:36am 
Is there an alternative download for the profile? The link for it on dwvac doesn't seem to be working anymore (or I'm just unlucky).
JojoTheSlayer  [author] 12 Aug, 2021 @ 11:25am 
@Blazer_135 The voice program and profile is not mission based. This is just a mission made to easier test the voice activation profile. You can use the program and voice profile in any Arma mission with Ai units, even online, which it originally was made for. Aside from having ai a player can command in your mission. There are no further Arma mission requirements to use this.
Blazer 11 Aug, 2021 @ 9:54am 
hey JojoTheSlayer i am looking for Developers to help me build my own mission and i was wondering you can help out and maybe add ur Voice Command mod to my mission idea
Cryptic 26 Jun, 2021 @ 2:29pm 
amazing
JojoTheSlayer  [author] 26 May, 2021 @ 12:27pm 
Rar is a well known file format for packing a bunch of files into smaller storage space. You need to unpack them to use the files and you can do so via programs like WinRar, which can be found on their homepage and can be used for free as long as you dont use it in work related aspects. There are readme text files within the unpacked files that can provide you with further information aside from what is written above. Good luck, have fun.
M4_RCO22 26 May, 2021 @ 8:18am 
What do I have to do with the rar? help explain to me what i do
JojoTheSlayer  [author] 22 May, 2021 @ 11:04am 
The subscription here is just for the ingame training mission. You need to seperatly download the VAC voice software (which has a free trail, unless that has changed) and the Arma3 voice profile I have made, which is free, via the links above in the text.

Once you have everything you can use voice commands in the training mission to test everything out before you use it in any mission you command ai in Arma 3. Be it offline or online.
M4_RCO22 22 May, 2021 @ 11:00am 
hello I give to subscribe and the mod is not downloaded, please help

@a7c12a5 Nice to hear :D
a7c12a5 20 Jan, 2021 @ 1:03am 
Thanks I just installed this today. Works awesome!
JojoTheSlayer  [author] 27 Feb, 2020 @ 4:58am 
@greenjoyce3001 Less time for gaming, tend to opt for easier accessed games. Played A3 to death and in Multiplayer Context, aside from events like Rolling Thunder (A3, TankSim events, recommended) or similar, I find Squad to be easier to find a decent match in. Hopefully Arma 4 will raise the bar on both MP and Ai without destroying their command system. When I do play A3 in single player though I still use VAC. It still lifts the experience to a higher level. Thanks for your comment. :)
greenjoy 26 Feb, 2020 @ 4:58pm 
@JojoTheSlayer If you're not playing Arma 3, what are you doing? Found a better milsim? Some of us only discovered this game in 2020.
JojoTheSlayer  [author] 25 Jan, 2020 @ 5:18pm 
@Overlander. The profile and A3 mission I have made is free, but the VAC software the profile uses has a 14 day trailer before it costs $18US, I think. You can use it to make your own profiles in other games, but that is a bit besides the point of this Workshop page. While I dont play Arma 3 that much anymore the profile is still fully functional with the game, if used correctly of course...
The Overlander 25 Jan, 2020 @ 2:52pm 
shit i really have to buy the software to use voice commands??? lame
JojoTheSlayer  [author] 24 Aug, 2018 @ 10:12pm 
@fabcomo The training mission is a Arma 3 mission meant to make it easier to use and learn the voice command profile for VAC. You can play the arma mission without anything else and might enjoy it stand alone, but its intent is to be an aid to those that want to command and controll their Ai via voice commands and therefor also use my VAC profile and the VAC software. :)
Fabcomo 2 Jun, 2018 @ 2:53am 
its training or its a vocal comand?
JojoTheSlayer  [author] 25 Sep, 2017 @ 6:22pm 
@Braysherr. The subscribtion button here is just for the single player training mission. Which you will find under single player scenarios ingame. However you need to go to the VAC homepage to download the profile and software for the voice command features. Links are in the text above. Good Luck :)
brayden 24 Sep, 2017 @ 5:37pm 
i hit the subscribe button and then went back to the arma mods section and it didnt even say it was downloading then i restarted my computer and nothing even happend any help is welcome
JojoTheSlayer  [author] 17 Jul, 2017 @ 3:13pm 
@Einzellar.
I am not sure what you are asking, but if you are trying to communicate that you would want some other setup on some key. I would recommend you to use VACbuilder, where you import the profiles, and just make a key that does what you want inside the profile you imported. That way you will have what I provide and your custom stuff as well. Good Luck :)

sorry me bad english first.
we make it that i click and hold left mouse button for zoom in
and click not hold left mouse button more for zoom out ?
JojoTheSlayer  [author] 17 Jun, 2017 @ 11:49pm 
@5PoL You probably have Apex settings or something so that there is a binding conflict. VAC needs the following keys. Space, 1-0 (over wasd), F1-F12 and Enter. If any of the 1-0 keys for example also function as "select main weapon" or whatever. The profile wont work because of the conflict. So space needs to work in a "select all" / "force command" (recommended) action, 1-0 must work in regards to the menu option box after troop selection, F1-F12 must work in regards to actual troop selection and enter must work as the "execute orders" at the end of a command. For example "Two move now" = F2, Enter in keypress. IF that is not the problem, you might have some mic issues. Check in VACbuilder "test phrase" to see if the correct commands are triggered when you say them. Check also in a notepad that the correct output is preformed. Lastly, there are more tips at the bottom of the Voice profile .txt readme files in the packed profile. Good Luck and let me know if you got it sorted. :)
crispytacoz 17 Jun, 2017 @ 7:47pm 
i'm having serious difficulty with this mod, when i say all return to formation it just changes my fire mode. i'm getting all kinds of glitches... and I also changed my binds to what the documents me told me. any ideas?
JojoTheSlayer  [author] 18 Oct, 2016 @ 7:20pm 
@Shisagi As long as no keybindings conflict. VAC and this voice profile will work with any Mod. You need to have VAC running with Admin rights though. Try checking out the readme or this comment tree for more tips. Most issues have been responded to before.
Good Elgin 13 Aug, 2016 @ 11:02am 
Thank you Jojo for the comprehensive response.
JojoTheSlayer  [author] 13 Aug, 2016 @ 4:49am 
@GoodeIgin (Read the response below first) VAC needs to have access to (for most commands), space, F1-12 and 0-9. wwAI mod included in VAC profile (optional) needs to have acccess to numpad 9. As long as none of these keys conflict with another mod. You can use it with any mod in A3.
JojoTheSlayer  [author] 13 Aug, 2016 @ 4:42am 
@GoodeIgin Thanks :) You can use VAC with any mod as long as they dont conflict on the controls. While this VAC profile doesnt support C2 directly and its a bit complicated to get VAC to support C2 because of all the hold ctrl and alt etc type to use function. You can still use both mods at the same time to supplement each other. Like for example you hold ctrl and alt and say "one" to alos press F1 and thereby select a fire team for the C2 system. Btw... the VAC profile contains a mod called wwAI which has a -plan and go- system. Where you can for example say "Five waypoint" (click several points on map), "Six waypoint" (clicks), "Go go go". And both units will execute the plan like older Rainbow6 games. (Check VACbuilder via catagory filer on the wwAI to see more commands). You could try running al 3 mods to get the best features from all. Good Luck.
Good Elgin 13 Aug, 2016 @ 1:10am 
Just downloaded VAC and it's fantastic. I would also like to use it with C2 Command and Control. Is there anything extra I need to do to make the two work together? Thanks
JojoTheSlayer  [author] 7 Aug, 2016 @ 6:50pm 
@Nebula You need to rebind a few keys. In the unpacked profile there are instructions on how and what keys to replace. There are images as well to aid you. Not sure if the Apex update have changed some of it, but I dont think so. Then you also have the info on the text above under "24.12 2015 v3.05 and up:" (text under it) that talks about the same. Good Luck.
Sammy 7 Aug, 2016 @ 4:42pm 
When I say, "All" The game brings up the menu as if I am hitting space, and it will not select all units. It seems that the game is replacing the squad factor and moving it to the keybind for space. Can anyone help me with this issue? Its really annoying.
AeRoTR 19 Jun, 2016 @ 8:16am 
Yes it may be but, core can be same but UI should be much better imo.
JojoTheSlayer  [author] 19 Jun, 2016 @ 7:52am 
@AeRoTR Thanks, but its actually ironic that its because they still use 90s interface that enables this type of voice commands to still work. You wont see this being practical in for example a BF style communication menu. :)
AeRoTR 19 Jun, 2016 @ 6:58am 
ARMA 3 own shitty command interface, same ui since operation flashpoint, year 2000s. Great job creating this mod, you are awesome.
JojoTheSlayer  [author] 10 May, 2016 @ 5:39am 
@Faergen
Thanks for the feedback. I always download the files I upload so I dont know what happened to it, but it should be replaced with a working copy now. Same link. Give me a heads up if you have other issues. :)
Faergen 10 May, 2016 @ 1:04am 
The .rar files on the DWVAC page is corrupt. Could you please fix it?

MAJOR UPDATE! v3.10 wwAi Custom Mod Image: http://i.imgur.com/qf5r2oy.jpg
(Using the mod is of course optional and Single Player only at this point in time and it needs CBA_A3)

This mod however enables the player to use orders like "Retreat", "AutoDanger OFF", "Fire on my lead" (shoot to trigger "open fire" etc), "Clear building" and "Return to NORMAL" among other commands. Yes, the commands actually do what it sound like they would do. These, while not perfect yet because I could only get it to work with the whole squad rather than just selected ones, is a game changer in regards to commanding Ai as a player in Arma 3 and I think you will see similar in loads of other Arma 3 settings regarding Ai.

The Mod included in v3.10 is a modified version of WindWalker wwAi 2.15 mod called v2.15_Jojo1. You will not find that version on Armaholic etc because I have not gotten in contact with WindWalker and can therefor not publish it in that manner as a update to hes vanilla v2.15.
JojoTheSlayer  [author] 14 Apr, 2016 @ 11:43am 
@warymadness I use ACE3/CBA with VAC without issues. Of course you need to rebind the 0-9 keys, but you already mentioned that. You also need to make sure you have spacebar configured correctedly, as text above instructs. Lastly, make sure you are using v3.09 because BIS changed a few things that are updated in that one and you have new keybindings images you can take a look at and see if you did it correctly. If you want to change spacebar you can read the Q/A post in detail for help. Good Luck :)

oh and yes, the profiles people can download are aimed at working on any keyboardlayout in the world. So there are allot of keys that are "off limits" because they do not produce the same output.

For single player voice commands, I am going to support something big in v3.10. Stay tuned!
wearymadness 12 Apr, 2016 @ 8:49am 
@SaltyMedic: I think ACE3's POV is that they specifically cater for MP where unit orders are less important. Therefore the feel it's appropriate to hijack 0-9. You can still get the same commands (without modification) by using SHIFT-[0-9]. Therefore, and I haven't tried it yet, is to modify the profile by adding the L-SHIFT extended key 1. Should be eeasy enough using a global search and replace. I've created an ACE profile (from INT) and will test soon.

Also, for some reason, VAC just doesn't work for me it CBA/ACE; not sure why - hence my discovering this thread.

@JojoTheSlayer: I too would like to revert back to the OOTB key bindings and am struggling to understand the logic of removing SPACE and using H (which is the last help key). I'm assuming the INT profile has to appease a lot of keyboard layouts.

Voice command profile version: 3.09
Updated: 29.03.2016

Patch Notes: 3.09
-Updated Readme "2. Installing:" with new instructions because of Arma 3 patches.
-Updated Help keybinding images to reflect ingame changes.
*Updated Readme "5. Ingame Menus and voice commands list:" with correct voicecommand.
-Removed every "wait" orders. They have been removed from Arma 3 game, no longer needed.
-Fixed every "find cover" orders. Because they broke when "wait" was removed from the game.
-Fixed every "next waypoint" orders. Because they broke when "wait"...
-Fixed every "armor mode" and "infantry mode" orders.
-All profiles now work like the Super profile. Aka, the word "team" is removed from most voice commands. See readme 2. Installing_Super profile. Speed differences between Slow, Fast and Super still applies.

VAC training mission update:
*Updated ingame voice command list to reflect ingame changes.
JojoTheSlayer  [author] 13 Jan, 2016 @ 9:56pm 
@SaltyMedic You will then need to reconfigure ACE to not use those keys... Not sure how ACE does it now, but there should be a Configure addons in the ingame controls menu or there probably or maybe are editable config files in the Arma 3 directory C:\...\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\userconfig
SaltyMedic 13 Jan, 2016 @ 7:27am 
Does anyone know how to make this work while using the ACE mod? ACE ties up the number 0-9 which voice uses for telling the AI what to do. Thanks
JojoTheSlayer  [author] 24 Dec, 2015 @ 6:10pm 
@Ram That is a rather technical question that is only interesting to a select few. I have therefor opted to respond to it in the Discussion tab of this page. Scroll up and press Discussions to see it. :)
